SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games. TRAKE DARROWS caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BLUETTE and was awarded 25 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DULGIN put down BLEU BONET,
causing her to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out
in honor of ULTORINO, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest
position in the city! Would you believe that over half of the old women in ZUKAL
seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. BLUE MOON is feared. This much I
can say. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the
better part of last week avoiding BLUE MOON. Indeed it was DARK WARDS.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in ZUKAL as ever I remembered them....and the fighters
as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far
off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into
a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani

PERSONAL ADS
Congrats to Incisor, Duelmaster. -- Dark Wards
But, I'm coming after you................. -- Brujah
Dentine -- I was quite impressed with how you did that. Salute. -- Ventriie
Khalhums Dwarf -- You fool; you are no match for me. -- Brujah
Incisor -- Well, damn. Bite me. -- Ultorino
P.S. You could at least have sent me to the Infirmary for several days of bedrest.
Then I'd have an excuse when Blotto tried to drag me off again.
They tell me the Ambitious Guard is a worthy fellow, and I take their word for it.
After all, being a guard might not be all that much like being a gladiator, when you
come down to it. But if his ambition is to be a better GUARD, what the HECK is he
doing in the arena? Or is it a punishment for letting his ambition get the better of
his (probably limited) judgment? -- Blu Jon the annoyed
P.S. Not even ONE skill.
The Fratsfa Slave would be more convincing in his role if he were Fratsfan. In fact,
that might actually be fun: carving up one of those tall, supercilous blonds...
yeah! -- Bluette
P.S. Mind you, I don't object to carving up a tall, sneering Karnhorn, either.
I think Bluette and I should get this "Fratsfa Slave" into a dark alley and make him
wish he was in Fratsfa being a slave. The NERVE of him, to make snide (and yes,
Bluette, sneering, you're correct) remarks to me in the first five seconds! I carved
him GOOD, and I'd like to do it AGAIN. Maybe a double orchidectomy. -- Bleu Bonet
Dark Wards -- It'll be along eventually. I did finally send it in, but the Evil
Inputter refused to input the wretch because I didn't pick a style. Like this lunk
would be good at any style? Oh, well, there's a chance for it to achieve mediocrity,
with effort. -- Jorja
